Thanks! OK, I watched a video on installing the cassette, and I think I was successful. As I think there is no way to effectively aim the cassette arm down and forward due to far too short a run of housing until the chainstay stop, I am still thinking of aiming it up and straight back. Thus the correct washers seem to be the 7L/7R grey and black, as the axle flats are nearly vertical.
i have another question. I have the cassette in place, but it seems to me that the cassette has a tiny bit of wiggle once installed, perhaps 1/16” left to right, and there is even a tiny bit of play in the yellow-dot locking ring but is disinclined to back off. Is this play normal? If not, where would one adjust it out?
